John Kilkenny was selected as the Conservative & Unionist candidate for the Sighthill/Gorgie ward on The City of Edinburgh Council in March this year.

An early selection has enabled John to work with Lothian MSP David McLetchie before the Holyrood election to enable him to get his foot in the door and get a grasp of local issues. John is local to the area, having attended Forrester High School and has worked in the motor trade subsequently in Edinburgh.

Jason Lingiah, Deputy Chairman of Edinburgh South West Conservative Association told Tory Hoose, ”I have been extremely impressed with the work and commitment that John has shown both during Holyrood campaign and his own campaign which has now progressed to his second leaflet going on throughout the Ward.”

John has also been proactive in responding to local development issues and has taken time to attend the many Community Councils and local groups in the area and is clearly working to win.”

The Sighthill/Gorgie ward in the City Council is like many wards in Edinburgh where the Conservatives have missed out on electing a Councillor due to the lack of transfers under the Single Transferable Vote electoral system, despite gaining enough votes on first preference.

With hard work and a City wide strategy to win, Tory Hoose is confident that John can be elected in May 2012.
